3. The English Blends Distribution in the HighEnd Teen E-Magazine
2016 Editions
In 2006, Anna Enarsson conducted a research on English blends in Wikipedia. According to Enarsson 2006, two different types of blends, namely
blends with clipping only and blends with clipping and overlapping, were most frequent. From her research, it could be seen that blends with clipping made up 55
percent of the total, blends with clipping and overlapping made up 42 percent, and the last blends with overlapping only made up 3 percent p. 13.
The research of blends in the HighEnd Teen e-magazines showed the same result compared to the result from the research which was conducted by Ennarson
2006. The most frequent type of blends was blends with clipping. From 32 blends, 23 of them were included in blends with clipping. The third type, which
was blends with clipping and overlapping, followed with 7 blends in total. The last was blends with overlapping, with only 2 blends.

CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS, IMPLICATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter presents the conclusions of the research. This chapter also provides the implication of the research to education as well as the
recommendations for English language learners, English teachers, and other researchers.
A. Conclusions
As one of the word formation processes, blending contributes to the variation of new English words. Through the research in the e-magazine of
HighEnd Teen 2016 editions, the researcher found 32 English blends. Some of them were already available in the dictionary, but there were a number of blends
which could not be found in the dictionary because they were new. Those new blends
were teenspiration,
hermesistible, bloomingle,
artpreneur, creativepreneur, Sensociety, youniverse, and Brangelina.
There were three research questions which had to be answered in this research. The researcher had to find out the base words of the blends, the types of
the blends, and the most frequent type of the blends. Mostly, the base words of the blends could be found in the dictionary with their meaning. A blend was
composed of two base words, at least, which they formed a new meaning for the blend. The meaning of the blend was often the combination of the meaning of the
base words. In this research, the researcher tried to analyze the base words of 32 blends.
